These will probably prove to be a popular set, but for myself I’m just interested in the historical stuff, like the earlier projected set of pirates — which I’m still looking forward to.
They look like characters from the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Looks like copyright infringement to me. I image if Disney saw these, they would sue Mars into oblivion. Like Don said, they need to stick to historical periods. They also need to stay away from trying to make elite troops as noted earlier. No knock to any one who likes or will buy these but in my honest opinion these are ridiculous.
I was surprised as anyone to see these figures. There a couple of figures they could be sued for. Disney is extremely protective of their copyrights and trademarks. I will grab a set before they disappear.
As to another comment, we have lots of pirate skeletons. I don’t think we need zombies.
I understand the copyright problems with these figures that has been stated, But as a big Fantasy figure fan i love these figures and will buy a set as long as they stay on the market that is? Althouth they are marked up as Zombie Pirates many of them would pass as straight forward Fantasy Monster figures And personally i would love to see more figures like these come out wether it is from Mars or another company.
Any idea when these figures will be out? And what there scale is?
1/32 scale on the box
I know that Dan but 1/32 scale can vary greatly from 50mm to 65mm as has been discussed many times on Stads. I would just like to know there proper scale as it helps me to decide wether to buy 0, 1, 2, or even more sets of figures as it can matter to fussy blokes like me.
I agree with all the comments above; I will pass on these as I, too am not in to fantasy figures. There’s one figure I might be able to use and would love to have – but it’s not worth buying the whole set for – unless my grandkids might like them because they do look like POC characters. But I’ve given up trying to get my grandkids interested in toy soldiers. They loved the Alamo set(s) I spent weeks putting together for them, but to a “man” came up sometime later and said they preferred GI Joes. (sigh…)
Does Disney have power in the Ukraine?🧐 What about all the Chinese Timmee, Matchbox, Airfix copies? I like the lone human Pirate based on Barbossa but it is an odd pose and would have to be converted also the Zizzle 1/32 scale figures did not include Barbossa.
It depends on the country on copyright protection. Some countries are very lax. Disney could go after importers. For most companies trying to protect their rights is too expensive. Disney has money to protect their rights. They will have to find out about Mars’ offering. Laurie and I years ago spotted at Toy Fair someone selling BMC Civil War figures. We clued in Bill McMasters and he took care of it.
Odd that Zizzle did not have the Barboosa figure. The figure was in the Disney store figure set.
Yes, the toy soldier collecting fraternity, along with such a limited distribution network, may be so small that these MARS figures fly completely under Walt Disney’s radar.
I also suspect that it is a combination of Eastern European origins and small scale business operation that may enable MARS to get away with this. A while back Dark Alliance did some 1/72 “Half-Orcs” that were clearly based on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings Uruk Hai and I know of no legal consequences.
Yeah.So true.
plastoy?Papo ,Sleigh and others had release en entire fantasy line from 2003 till 2014 clearly base in all LOTR films but calling then different names snd making some variation like making an elve w bow in green clothing call forest elf .not elve to avoid issues snd a ring rider as treasure dark hunter and else.
Any way could do it as far not cloning actor and making minor differences.
HK sold Romans swoppet in multiple poses nice better copy of TIMPO as gladiators and other Herlad copies as well.
so copywriter issues is too hard to fight legally it in the toy market.
Better done is one coping a patent invention or cloning exact one toy .

ok.Where are the real figures?
No long ago a beautifully sculpted figure set definitely not done by Mars artist were post here.
Are those the one ?
Or these Pirates of the caribbean based films charters the one made by Mars?
I can convert most to regular pirate and pirates can be use as sailors in any navy.
But till see then I won’t move.
Any ways many won’t find much use x them if fantastic poses
This is just picture of a box and are same HO set they did then another waste .
Oh well.
Best
The poses look the same as the box poses, except that where good painting can make a bad figure good, bad painting does not enhance a good figure. I think the box art just has badly painted figures.
Two sets are being released:
32020 Pirates of the Caribbean
https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MAR32020
32021 Zombie Pirates
See images above
Both sets are different than the 1/72 set:

When I go to the Hannant’s site which Rahway provides, the photo of the MARS header card painted Pirates of the Caribbean set looks like it will be the pirates which we all marveled at a few weeks ago. The comments from Hannants suggests it will be released in conjunction with the Zombie Pirates set.
The Mars pirates Zombies are same /base poses as HO or very close in most
Here is set 1 -set #72070
Where the 1/32 apparently are extracted from base in early films sequels
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Figures-1-72-ZOMBIE-PIRATES-Figure-Set-Part-1/362514868701?hash=item546791e9dd:g:7~IAAOSwoDFcHTt8:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true
Here is one SET 2 Set 72090
-Base in later film call mutant Zombies
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MARS-72090-ZOMBIE-MUTANT-PIRATES-SET2-48-Unpainted-Plastic-Figures-1-72/123628780065?epid=1129583084&hash=item1cc8d97a21:g:ue8AAOSwLx5aur6N:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true
Other Pirates fil m base set
Pirates of Caribbean 1/72=HO set #72009
First pirate set made by Mars base in film, there was a second set poses prototype not release of these apparently according to some blogs.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Figures-1-72-PIRATES-OF-THE-CARIBBEAN-Figure-Set/362279406752?hash=item5459890ca0:g:PisAAOSwp3Jat9gF:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true
PIRATES-BUCCANEERS set #72082
You list the reference of HO blog is nothing to be with others. This was early Pirate set they did and name buccaneers also (pirates) in the cases. More historical base
Buccaneers was a series of three sets made by Mars about Pirates. Nothing to be with film base figures by Mars.
There two other set pirates sets by mars as well in HO .
PIRATES-BUCCANEERS set #72082
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MARS-MODELS-1-72-Pirates-Buccaneers-1620-1660-48-MAF72082/323261444858?hash=item4b43e232fa:g:uDMAAOSwNEBa~hsi:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true
The 1/32 poses set announced in box art looks copies direct of Buccaneers, pirates two sets mix and the zombie a mix of first zombie with another Zombie
Again, is only speculation as only image of box.
Because most sets made before by Mars in 1/32 are direct base copies of their HO chances are these are same.
They did it with German, Japanese, Afghanistan, Viet nam, Somali else sets.
Finally, the Nice prototype (PHOTO from car dashboard taken) pirates set listed in September here are the one not base in any of Mars HO set and of course wish was done not any mars produced in HO.
They look like Barzso never made poses while few poses look like base in the film Pirates of Caribbean as well.

The box art pictures look the same as the dashboard figures.
yes they are and hope are same quality.
those are more generic and not base in any Mars had done in HO.
Yeah it appears they will be coming out pretty soon and i will buy a set when they become available.
